hang LOTS of bounce dryer sheets around the greenhouse - they work.
people will just think someone's doing laundry.

Having a few greenhouse grows under my belt the main thing about smell is stagnant air. You want as much air flow as possible. Those are great ideas to mask the smell but as long as the air is moving in and out of the GH the smell will dissipate very quickly. Only when i am moving my plants around do they let off the funk.
 
you need one of those 5 gal buckets w/ ona and a big fan on top. its like a big glade plug in. theres a diy somewhere on this site.

this is absolutely true

Buy yourself a torin or something to pump air in the GH(10 times as much as the kubic volume) also install an oscillating fan and open all windows and doors.

I always smell my outdoor plants , but the ones in the greenhouse i only smell IN the greenhouse

smells

the wind is your friend
exhaust the air up high to assist its dissapation
use a large charcoal filter
it will work best if humidity is below 65%
coconut charcoal is best

ozone may help
but only allow it to contact the air downwind of the plants

touching plants will let off smell
so do it at safe times
especially in breezy afternoon weather

use a wall mount spray of ozium downwind of the plants
